Germany maintained on the whole non
committal attitude, but it was nevertheless
conducive of peace, her very inexpensive
ness serving to hold aggression by other
powers in check. Late in the year, alarmed
at the military activity in France, the
Crown sought from the Relchstag support
for Strengthening the military arm. a dis
position to refuse being manifest, Bismarck
acted in accordance with his own desire,
notified The reserves and began military
preparations for a possible breach with
France. 1t is significant that the Minister
OF War was permitted to express his belief
that peace cannot be maintained, but later
the Emperor plainly signifed his determi-
nation to maintain peace for the few re-
naming years of his eventful life The
German policy, therefore, with the close of
1856, was looking toward peace. To that
end the belief obtains that Austria was
given to understand that war was by no
means necessary and would not have Ger
man countenance, and the Car advised to
withhold himself from further present eff
forts to advance his power in the Balkan
states-advice rather ungraciously received,
and that it is by no means certain he will

STORIES ABOUT LINCOLN.
His Old Law Partner, William ii. Hem
don, Induiyes in "Reminiscences.


Lincoln's old law partner, William II.
Herndon, is in the city, says the Chicago
Tribune, for few days. He was seen yes
terday at the rooms of the Lincoln Mem
orial Collection entertaining several in
terested listeners with "reminiscences of the
great man during his career as an Illinois
attorney.
"Yes, - said Mr.. Herr don, I could al
ways tell when Lincoln was IN good
humor or not by observing him as he en-
tered the Office at 8 or half-past 8 in the
morning. If everything was serene and
pleasant, he would take seat in one of our
wooden chairs, throw his feet over the stove,
and begin telling yarns. He would keep
this up until dinner time, and very little
work would be done through the forenoon.
If, on the other hand, matters had not been
as pleasant as they might, he would drop
into the Office in quiet, unobtrusive way,
and, after taking a seat, would proceed to
make his breakfast on crackers and cheese.
Sometimes his depression would wear off
in an hour or so, and his genial. sunshiny
disposition reassert itself. He was not
great student. He was what is called case
lawyer. Given a case he would first fa-
miliarize himself with all the facts and
then look up the reports containing similar
adjudicated cases. He was sympathetic at
We had an odd way of keeping our ac-
counts. We never kept any books, but

cult making money he did just the same as
when at home. If he received a $40 note
for services he would take So, and, wrap

one day why he did this, and his reply was:

any one know if it wasn't marked = The
last fee l divided with him was shortly be-
fore his inauguration as President l had
received $500 from an estate for which our
firm had been doing Business and when
offered Mr.. Lincoln the money he refused
to take it until l told him where it came

two cases, and believe the first one where
the young lady died, had more to do with
his sadness in after life than anything else.

had been engaged prior to her meeting with
Mr.. Lincoln, but failing to hear from the

Before they can be used they are made soft

in damp sawdust. Then they are placed on

spots or cracks in the skin, it is thrown

makers are honest, and the blemishes are
often covered up. This accounts for the
sudden giving ont of many gloves.
The delicate part of gloye-making is the
cutting, as the least variation in the lines
will destroy the symmetry ofthe glove and
make the fit imperfect. To get the parts
to fit as well as possible, patterns are used
for each size but even wi b these mistakes
are often made. In 6rst-class factories
where the skin is MOI properly cut it is
thrown away or cut up iHto gussets. Every
skin is studied by the cutter, so as to make
the greatest number of gloves from it with
the least wasteS and it is so graded that the
largest sizes are first marked out and the
rest is used fer children's gloves. Modern
invention has enabled the cutter, when
blocking out the glove, to make little holes
in the skin for stitches. This insures per-

which are of great importance.

ParnelIites up in Arms.

New YORK, January Sth-A. M-Fhe
Stars London special says: The National
lists discredit the report that Gladstone is
willing, in order to conciliate Harrington
and Chamberlain, to restrict the jurisdic-
ton of the proposed Irish Parliament to
purely local affairs. They declare that if
such is Gladstone's intention, he will not
get the support of the Parnellites and never
again be Prime Minister

stated that the outcome of the conference
between the Gladstone and Chamberlain
wings would probably be proposal for an
Irish Parliament or Legislature with iu-
risdiction corresponding to that of the pro-
vincial Legislature of the New Dominion
of Canada. Such scheme has been out
lined and has been under consideration
There are many Unionists, it is as
serted, who would desert the coali-
ton if measures of this character
be adopted by Gladstone and Chamberlain.
The main principles of the proposed meas
ure are the restriction of jurisdiction to
local affairs, and the election of members
to the Imperial Parliament. The Cham

duction of an Irish land bill, the settle

ANOTHER RAILRoAD.-From gentleman
who is largely interested in this valley. we
learn that several prominent men of Red
ding have taken hold of the scheme of
building railroad from the G. Sc O., at
Redding, through this valley. thence by
the way of Goose Lake to connect with
the o. X. & NJ in Oregon. These gentlemen
are well known at railroad headquarters,
and any representations they may make
will receive due recognition from the rail
way officials. Mark Brickell Kerr, Chief
OF the Government Geological Survey, who
has just completed his work on Pit river,
met Governor Stanford and showed him his
report on this country and its resources. and
MIR. Stanford was greatly impressed with
the magnifcenoe-o these valleys and the
practicability of building this way. The
route proposed is along the ridge lust above
Pitt river, from a point near Woodman's,
and around the north side of Hatehet-
creek mountain, and negotiations are now
pending for the running of a pre-
liminary survey. The road may not be
built next year, as the company is
now intent on completing the main line.
After that they Will turn their attention TO
feeders, and it is safe TO say that when the
business men of Redding and this place
pull for railroad they will get it, espe-
cialiy when backed by the people of the
populous valleys through which it is pro-
posed to run the line.-EGA River Nail

They refused to associate with any one

told them that if he could not live there he
would not live anywhere. and went TO his
room and secured razor, but was prevented
from using it upon himself by his brother.
He then left, Yowing that he would carry out
his purpose. Friends who had learned of

bride of twenty hours. Sterritt called

worth while fer us to extend the civilities
of greeting to our latest contemporary, the
Standard, Henry Georges new organ, be-
cause that paper has managed to commit
suicide at its birth. Its salutatory is pas
sionate attack on the Roman Catholic
Church for its disciplinary measures to-
ward Dr.. McGlynn, in the course of which
George publishes himself as a bitter and
active foe of that Church. 1t is notorious
that the very great body of the unskilled
and poor workinemen, whose aid Georges
party pressingly needs, are Roman Cath
olics. There are also very many laborers,
including many who eagerly drink in
Georges theories, who rtiect all religious
control, but in winning their hoarse ap-
plause George separates himself definitely
and fatally from that large body of the
workingmen whose religion happens 20 be
Roman Catholic"
